I’m Not A Crook
See, that was President Nixon’s first mistake.
Hmm, let me take that back. His first mistake was allowing amazingly illegal things to be done by those under him, and for his own benefit, but you catch my drift. Asserting your innocence by beginning with a negative is not the best way of doing it.
Far better to say “I am innocent.” You then at least have a shot at gaining some undeserved public sympathy.
Murtha, however, has reached the appropriate age and level of hubris that he just doesn’t care any more.
So he’s as bent as a nine bob note (as some people say in the UK) admitting that, “If I’m corrupt, it’s because I take care of my district.”
What he’s really saying is, “Whaddaya gonna do about it?”
And the answer is most likely nothing. Not only has his mountainous ass fused itself to his House seat, but he enjoys the full support of his fellow racketeers in the Democratic Party.
Enjoy it will it lasts, Murtha. You’ll get yours eventually.
